Currently, EOPPEP is in the process of constant updating of the Register the
types represent groups of qualifications that are well-known in the Greek
society. They reflect the state of play within the labour market. Together with

the levels, Qualification Types constitute a particularly flexible mechanism for
the recognition/referencing of any learning achievement and will also facilitate
decisively one of the basic principles of the Framework, the ability of learners to
access, transfer and progress within the system. The identification of
Qualification Types required, and the development of Type Specifications, was
undertaken with the support of working groups appointed by the relevant
awarding bodies Methodology for the classification of Qualification Types to
Levels in the HQF The classification of Greek qualification types to the HQF levels
involved two related processes:
• the identification of an appropriate range of types; and

• the development of specifications for each type and the testing of
each type to ensure its location at the correct level of the HQF.

Summary

Each country involved in the project implementation has different requirements
for the procedure of including qualifications into the National Qualifications

Framework. This is due to the different experiences of individual countries, their
history, standards and regulations. Some countries, such as Spain, have not yet
completed the process of harmonizing the qualifications framework in their
area. In Poland the qualification may be included in the Integrated
Qualifications System (ZSK) at the request of entities conducting organized
activity in the area of: economy, labor market, education or training. In
Portugal, Qualifications are organized by certification level and training area,
and in Slovenia, one option that omits formal educational qualifications is a

special form of non-formal education called National Vocational Qualifications
(NVQ), which is governed by the National Vocational Qualifications Act. The
creation of the Greek framework system and its introduction into the
qualifications system in Greece requires the strong collaboration and
interaction of many organizations.
In order to effectively include qualifications in the National Qualifications
Framework, each partner must focus on the necessary activities and
procedures in his country to enable it. Due to the lack of full uniformity and
compatibility, it is impossible to create a single solution enabling qualifications
to be included in the National Qualifications Framework in each partner

country.
